I PUBLIC HEARING Mayor Pro-Tern Judy explained that the purpose of this public hearing is to obtain comments from the citizens on a proposed Comprehensive Water Plan. He reported that the Water Committee is not planning to sell the water system for the Tr~ Cities Area and feel that the water users in the area should have the choice of who supplies them with water. He indicated that the Council will not be making a decision on the proposed plan this night. Mr. Bruce Collins was recognized and explained the background and proposed future develop- ment of the water system described in the draft. Mayor Pro-Tern Judy reported that the P.U.D. Commissioners are in the audience to hear the public testimony as well. He requested that Mr. Grove read a letter from Lowell Tiller advising against some of the recommendations set for in the plan which he did. The suggestions he opposed were: (1) use of injection wells, (2) use of a three element water authority, - (3) listing of administrative decisions in planned system improvements, (4) spending further money to study Snow Creek, (5) the filing for water from the Dose or Duckabush Rivers, and (6) taking additional water from the mainline. Mayor Pro-Tem Judy then opened the hearing to the audience. Mr. David Cunningham was recognized and identified himself as the planning director for Pope and Talbot. He spoke in favor of the construction of the Hastings Loop sooner than the period of time proposed in the plan. He requested that the record of this hearing show that even though Pope and Talbot have the second longest water system in Jefferson County,their:.servièe area does not come close to the City system. The construction of the Hastings Loop would provide water to a parcel of ground owned by Pope and Talbot. He suggested that existing private wells be considered collectively as additional sources for the future public system. He requested that the Council hold the hearing open to accept written testimony for an additional 30 days.

Mr. Ed McMinn was recognized and spoke in favor of the City extending water service along Hastings Avenue. Mr. Gene Seton was recognized and spoke in favor of the Hastings Loop because it would attract additional peopJe to the area. Mr. Frank Vane was again recognized and asked Mr. Collins the role of the Little Quilcene River in the supply. Mr. Collins explained that it is a supplemental water right to the Big Quilcene River and as such can not be counted as an additional water right. He further explained that they are recommending that funding for additional reserviors be secured from new customers as the system expands. He indicated the time frames suggested are flexible and can be influenced by other factors such as available funding. Mr. Douglas Joyce was recognized and requested that the City retain and operate the water system in the Tri City Area because the rates have been reasonable and the Public Utility District No.1 is impossible to work with. Mr. Phillip Atridge was agàin recognized and explained that wood product related industries are the only kind which would be attracted to the area and they need large quantities of pure water.
